Q. What is the most dangerous drug to prescribe an elderly patient? A. The 5th one! Poly pharmacy leads to falls, cognitive impairment, hospitalization and increased mortality. Think about what you’re doing. De prescribing can be lifesaving. It is so satisfying to do.

Been thinking about the Moral Determinants of Health listed by Don Berwick yesterday and how we might get there. #PsychologicalSafety might be a good place to start. We need to have transparency to build trust.

1/5 how to be a GP in a pandemic; a thread . 1. recognise there is a dangerous bug that could kill you, your family and your patients. Pivot rapidly to Telehealth and be forced to bulk bill #telehealth #covid19 #auspol #GetVaccinatedNow

Recipe for Australia to lose GPs and reduce the availability and quality of health care: Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President

GPs - the rarely acknowledged and unspoken backbone of our health system at the best of times, and some of our pandemic responses. Read and weep 👇🏽

Backbone of the rollout For sure! Backbone of the health system too The Diagnostic & General Clinicians Seeing everything & anything; managing most, coordinating all. That’s general practice together with primary care the best evidenced health system for outcomes & economics

This is a view from the trenches. Thank you Dr Warby for being there for your patients. I’m sorry you were not better supported throughout this pandemic.

Dear #medtwitter. Please summarise this bizarre $25 GP Covid payment?

"Moving forward we can’t continue to use elective surgery as surge capacity in the hospitals, we need to be prepared for the next wave." – AMA (NSW) President, Dr Danielle McMullen, speaking at today's hearing into NSW Government's management of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Another reminder about how awesome real life GP's are. Took one of the little GGG's in today. Thorough history, examination, diagnosis, advice and care of child and mother. Proper doctoring.

Come on Dan Andrews Tim Pallas do the same in Victoria, do you really want to make Primary Care which is the most efficient part of our health system more expensive for patients? Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President

“ChatGPT can chat with you in a friendly and polite manner, but it cannot understand your emotions or feelings.” Not yet, anyway.

@DannyHill_VAU any shift away from Primary Care increases costs
